The purpose of the federally funded Title I program is to help disadvantaged students meet the same high academic standards expected of all children. The most recent reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This education bill was enacted on January 8, 2002 and has established several national mandates as well as a much stronger level of accountability for the progress of all students, especially disadvantaged students. Title I includes Part A: Improving Basic Programs; Part B-1: Reading First; Part B-2: Early Reading First; Part B-3: Even Start Family Literacy; Part C: Education of Migratory Children; Part D: Neglected or Delinquent Children and Youth; and Part F: Comprehensive School Reform (CSR).
